"According to their SkyMiles status" - which they have plenty of, due to all their commuting back and forth to their home districts. I mean, it's a nice start, I just wish they'd get stuck in economy with the rest of us.

Imagine how much better the world would be if we stopped kissing rich people's asses like we owe them.
Ya make the fuckers pay for the special treatment. You shouldn't just get it because you are rich.
But if I kiss their ass maybe I can ride on their cost tales.
Or maybe even their coattails.
If only we all treated everyone like this, in accordance with their SkyMiles status.
This was MLKs dream
Yeah right, like we all have the same experience as the wealthy. This just takes off the fancy label for congress critters, not benefits from being moneyed.
Perks cut? When will it end.
Minor inconveniences for members of Congress > illegal arrest and imprisonment for the rest of us.
So they are boycotting so an agency of human rights violators gets funding?
I think they want the TSA to get funding, and I bet they're pretty agnostic re: ICE funding
The boycott seems to be in favour of TSA which is also a human rights violation agency, the one I meant in the first place.
